This book is so short it's practically a novella. Why not just read it?

If you're really that lazy, just watch one of the movie versions. The 1974 and 2000 versions don't change much of the story.

This thread will do OP absolutely no favours by supplying the answers. OP will remain an inept slob who can't solve his most basic problems and won't work to achieve.

It's a Go sign. If it had been red, Gatsby would have sat at home playing tiddlywinks instead.

The T of Gatsby's car symbolises the Model T Ford, hand built by Henry. It replaces the Cross symbol of Man's natural state of Christian love with technological fetishism for "our Ford". The only way Evil ever can, through destructio.

OP, here's what you need to know, basically Gastly wants to be cool enough to impress that hot Misdreavus, who was his sexy gf a million years ago, but then it turns out she's married to Machamp. This is all told from Pikachu's point of view. The green light means, "gotta catch em' all".

These sound incorrect; the book was read to my class in a monotone-darthvader-depressed voice and I couldn't stand listening to it so I had my head down the whole time. I listened a little though, I don't remember anyone ever being gay—some of the other responses are blatantly obvious that they're incorrect. Thank you for taking the time to answer them anyway though.
